CTC Telcom selects ClearSky Mobile Media for Hosted WAP, MMS, Content and More
Wisconsin carrier will offer ClearSkys full set of wireless data services to subscribers on its new UMTS network
October 21, 2008 (Orlando, Fla.) - ClearSky Mobile Media, Inc., a leading provider of managed services and content
to wireless carriers, today announced a new long-term contract with CTC Telcom to deploy
its full suite of content and data services. CTC Telcom, launched in 1996 as one of the first facilities-based CLECs,
provides phone, cable, internet, and wireless services to business and residential customers in western Wisconsin.
The terms of this agreement call for CTC Telcom to deploy ClearSkys complete, end-to-end solution that includes hosted
WAP and MMS-C service, along with ProPortal, ProVantage, ProVision, ProConfig and RevShare
integrated support systems. Taken together these products and services will enable CTC Telcom to grow its wireless customer
base by offering access to the mobile web, multi-media messaging, and downloadable content.
As we add wireless services to complete our quad-play offering, we searched for an organization experienced in mobile
data services. ClearSkys hosted platform enabled us to very quickly provide our subscribers these value-added features
without a large initial capital investment, said Mark Reams, CTC Telcoms commercial operations officer. Moreover,
with over 10 years of WAP, MMS, and content delivery experience, ClearSky will enrich our customers experience, help us
maintain our competitive advantage, and increase revenue growth.
The addition of CTC Telcom, a leading rural wireless provider, validates ClearSkys revenue share pricing as a model
that works for both large and small carriers alike, said ClearSky executive vice president of sales, Tony Tagliareni. We
look forward to working closely with CTC Telcom to maximize their customer loyalty and data ARPU.
